<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 7444923, member: 117420&quot;]OK all you experts, know-it-alls <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and silver barons...seriously, at least one or two of you...please answer this:&nbsp; So, what IS the purity of the silver used in all the 90% silver coins (through 1964)...?&nbsp; I mean, it&#039;s 90% silver alloyed with 10% copper...understand...but that&#039;s the alloy percentage or content/amount of silver...what&#039;s THAT silver&#039;s purity (.925 sterling, or .999 pure, or...)?&nbsp; You can have a coin containing &quot;90% silver,&quot; but if the actual silver purity of the &quot;90%&quot; is only .500, as it was/is for many foreign coins, hard to claim 90% silver value, isn&#039;t it...?&nbsp; This has always been somewhat confusing...just when I think I&#039;ve got it, I hear/read it said or referred to differently and then I&#039;m not sure. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
